I know this is old news to some, but it took me a bit to post this. Goodbye Brigadier!
Nicholas Courtney, 16 December 1929 – 22 February 2011
You can check out this clip here to see the Brigadier in action. And Jo’s in it, too! And here are some great articles on the man from BBC.

My earliest memories are Jon Pertwee Dr Who. Nice to find another fan!
It is nice to talk to another fan of the older days — I mentioned it to my group, and even though they love the New Dr. Who, they didn’t know who he was. *sigh* But at least they brought him back on the Sarah Jane Adventures for one last go at it. He is seriously one of my favorites!
